Pffft. Who Needs Talent?

Good afternoon fight fans. I write to you from the front line of dusty lampshades and old boxes. I’m in the midst of a house move, you see; the tyrannous land baron has finally had enough and the Fox is looking for a new burrow. Alas, for all my sins, I’ve been cleaning mildew for three straight days now. I’ve hosed a gallon of bleach up the walls in a vain attempt to recoup a much needed deposit. And by thunder I’m going to get it.
Or the copper pipes are mine. Click here for details (mum's the word, eh?)
In such uncertain times and the waning lifespan of this old tin-box computer (sans internet) posts may become infrequent. But come they will. Yes, sir.
So, the summer lull continues. Spurs’ fleeting romance with want-a-way Madridians (Madridiasts?) looks to have hit a cold patch now; they fluttered their eye-lids suggestively but now can barely look at us. Robben’s dad practically hates us. It’s left everyone with that feeling of being chatted up by the most popular girl in school only to find out we’d got the wrong idea. The bastards.
What now then? How high do aim our hopes? With the rumour mill churning up some stellar clientele in recent weeks it’s only natural that anything bar a Huntelaar-esque signing will be met with disappointment and deflation. ‘I’m sorry. There must be some mistake; I ordered prime fillet. This appears to be corned beef.’ Is it bad form to be under-whelmed when the cross-hairs keep moving so consistently? One week we’re linked with Europe’s finest the next we appear to be picking meat off the bones of Premiership corpses. The Downing rumour, despite all empty threats to insert kitchen appliances into plug sockets, refuses to leave us. The boy could have his foot caught in a bear trap and he’d still be ‘poised’ for a move. Middlesbrough seem intent on off loading to highest bidder.
I wonder if a cork-crew will fit into the mains? The forks are bent beyond recognition
Ho-hum. In reality, I guess the best strategy is to sit tight and put a bit of faith in Harry’s keen eye for the diamond in the rough. Last summer we allowed ourselves to be carried away with Ramos’ magnetic touch in Europe; tabloid spin would have you believe he could’ve pulled Messi out of his arse had he been given a pair of bolt cutters and a blank cheque book. No player was out of reach. But look where that got us. Two measly points and the same number of bruised balls.
I guess what I’m saying is, I’d rather we bubbled under the radar with a few well though-out signings than slap down a pair of aces and stumble over the start line under the wieght of expectation.
That said- I wish he’d get a pissing move on.
I’m bored.
The Fox in the bunker.
Holding firm.

A hearty expedition into the mind of a troubled, easily swayed Tottenham fan.

I love the look of this guy. I watched a 5 minute show reel of him destroying everything he came into contact with. Like a footballing version of Robbie Savage.
If you'd believe it.

Im quite liking the silence for a change! Hoping for a little gem soon though. Hopefully with the window offically opening tomorrow things might start moving.
I believe the term is Madrillenos with one of those squiggly things above the o - best ask DV?
"The forks are bent beyond recognition" I actually read this as 'The Bent is fucked beyond recognition' and saw it as a sign he was sold after being assured Sandra wouldn't take his place on the Spurs bench.
I'm sure Harry is trawling round parts of the world that we've never heard of uncovering 'jems' with names we can't even pronounce...I have faith!
Im still hoping we can find some way of getting Young from Villa its a hard one I know but Harry does know how to pull the odd bunny out of his hat. Still 1st July is apon us and that's when the party really starts. Remember the PROMINCE !!!!! he knows who he wants he believes he can get them and they are all good players with Prem experience and none from religated teams oh and all in there prime
Lets see what happens ?????

Maxi is being pushed to joint us. Has the look of a decent player.

Priceless.
Reply to SeattleSpursGuy:
I'm very keen to embrace this story. He's been around for ages and I always assumed he was ancient. 28 isn't he?
Our midfield needs Maxi Padding.

Or he's on the beach getting lobstered.
I'm so bloody bored I'm beginning to worry that I might be beginning to think that maybe Downing isn't so bad after all. But I know I'm wrong.I saw his last England performance!! I'm also getting worried about Citeh's capacity for ruining the market by splashing the cash. I hope against hope that something good will come from the Madridistas but can't believe it will and can't believe any other rumour at all. Bloody hell I'm in a mess..Good luck with the move Fox

Good only 3-4 days a month?
Reply to KennYid:
Thanks, Kenny. It's a bloomin' pain the arse.
I'm seriously considering making up some news soon (not much change, I know) just to liven things up a bit.
'Spurs Hi-jack Ronaldo bid.'
'Ledley King in Shock Arc of Covenant Discovery.'
Any thoughts?
'in'
Time to stop feeling sorry for myself and get off the sidelines! Cana,been looking at him. You'd know he was on the pitch, though not sure how long he'd stay there, leader, captain...Worth a punt oh esteemed HR?

A midfield consisting of Sarge and Discharge...
Sorry.
Reply to WhoFramedRuelFox:
With Maxi, you can swim, ride a horse, and whip a vicious cross into the box.
Stewie Downer for light days.
Reply to SeattleSpursGuy:
Excellent stuff.
Reply to WhoFramedRuelFox:
Man City offer £two billion for Downing. Winger regrets he may not now go to Spurs . Real offer to be feeder club for Spurs. Brasil only to pick players who have had a successful season at White Hart Lane.
No proper transfer news on here either? I feel like I'm stuck in a bog's u-bend.
I think we all got so used to the fat Frog sniffing around every corner that we are fooled in to thinking that nothing is happening. But with the Del Boy of transfer deals at the helm I am certain plenty is going on behind closed doors and in Arry I trust.
A statement I will vehemently deny if he fucks up.
Reply to SeattleSpursGuy:
Can't say I'd be all that jazzed about a player who's basically said he's not interested in our club. This is Tottenham Fucking Hotspur! We expect our players to display the proper attitude: indifference. Antipathy, while refreshing, just will not do, sir!
As for the lack of transfer action, I don't think I'd be in a huge rush either if I were Harry. Could very well be that he's waiting for Real, Shitteh, et al to finish delivering dumptrucks full of cash to various clubs and player residences across Europe. Then he'll evaluate whether or not any players of quality are being pushed overboard and are willing to join our merry crew. If not, then move on to scavenging over the wrecks in the northeast to see if there's anything worth salvaging.

Fear not, when something does happen- I'll be the last to know.
Reply to WhoFramedRuelFox:
I'll be there (my tribute to black Michael Jackson) when you do break the news
